I wont ever let you
She said, "Boy I'm tired of waiting up while you're out with your friends"
I'm not trying to be somebody else
What they know
He said "Mom I'm trying and I'm living my life the best way that I can"
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
Don't you know me?
I won't be nobody else
I'm not trying to be somebody else
This life is mine I'm living
'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
She said, "Son take care, don't let your dreams get too far out of sight"
What they think wont ever bring me down
Don't you know me?
This life is mine and I am my own
What they say
This life is mine I'm living
I'm not trying to be somebody else
The day has come, the son is moving on
I'm trying to be somebody
'Cause I'm trying to be somebody
He said, "I love you now, don't worry about me, you know I'll be fine"
This life is mine I lead
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
Don't you know me? I wont ever let you down
She don't know where he'll go or when he's coming home
I'm trying to be somebody
I wont ever let you
I'm not trying to be somebody else
No, I'm not trying to be somebody else
